Properties / House Fellowship Leader Caught On Camera Stealing Laptops At Protea Hotel Ikeja by naija911: 5:08pm On Mar 22, 2017
The home of armed robbers has finally been revealed .
Operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command, on Wednesday, arrested one Ikemefuna Aje, 47, a house fellowship leader, who specialises in stealing laptops and properties of conference at Protea Hotel in G.R.A Lagos State.

Aje was arrested after he stole 5 MacBooks, one HP computer and some assorted personal effects of participants of a seminar organised for internet brand managers at Protea hotel in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.


Ikemufuna, captured by the CCTV camera in the hotel, drove in and headed straight to the seminar room at a time when the participants were having lunch in another room.

The suspect, who was corporately dressed, wore the tag of seminar participants before making away with the items.

He had, after stealing the said items, took them to Computer Village, Ikeja, and sold 5 Mac Books and one HP computer to one Saliu Ibraheem for N1.1m.

RRS operatives, in tracking the suspect traced him to 5, Tony Street, Ejigbo, Lagos where he was hosting about 34 other church members in a house fellowship.

Recovered from his house after the arrest were the 4Runner Toyota car with the registration No. KRD 701 DC, which he drove into the venue of his last operation, a master key, Zinox laptop, several computer bags, computer and tablet accessories as well as seminar materials and a sum of N700,000.

According to one the representatives of the seminar organiser who did not want her name in print: “We were shocked see participants bringing up issues of missing laptops and computer accessories after returning from lunch.”

“The seminar was not advertised online neither in any national newspapers. How did this suspect get to know of the event and managed to come at the exact time participants about a hundred participants were having launch?”

Ikemefuna had several scouts who furnish him with information on conferences and seminars where he goes to steal laptops and properties of the participants.

The suspect, after initially denying the crime, confessed when he was shown a copy of the CCTV footage before leading the operatives to Computer Village to arrest the buyer, Saliu.

According to Saliu: “I have known Ikemefuna for more than seven years. He brought 5 Mac Books and one HP to my shop that he bought them in South Africa…. I bought the 5 Mac Books and a HP laptop computer for N1,110,000 and I resold it immediately for N1,250,000. The money was transferred into my account immediately.”

As at yesterday, the operatives had recovered all the laptops allegedly stolen by the suspect at the seminar.

Confirming the incident, the Police PPRO, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said that there will be no hiding place for criminals in Lagos State, adding that officers of the command are at alert to nip crime in the bud.

The suspect has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) Panti, Yaba for further investigation and prosecution.

This is not the first time such ugly incident will occur at Protea Hotel but the sad story is that the management always find a way to die down the story.

Business / Guaranty Trust Bank Allegedly Laundered Over N1.5 Billlion For Saraki by naija911: 12:10pm On Jan 18, 2017
How Guaranty Trust Bank helped Senate President Bukola Saraki transfer over N620million (£1.6million) to UK and over N940million ($3million) to US

The Federal Government of Nigeria at the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja on 17 January, 2017, explained how Saraki between 2009 and 2012 allegedly laundered public funds to foreign accounts.

The revelations was made through the FG second witness who testified against Saraki, Mr. Nwachukwu Amazu, a former head of funds transfer unit at the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB).

Amazu stated that the Guaranty Trust Bank helped Saraki to transfer about 1.6million pounds to the United Kingdom in 2010 and over $3million to the United States between 2009 to 2012.

He noted that the over $3million was transferred from Saraki’s dollar account to American Express Services Europe Limited from 2009 to 2012.
“I know the defendant, he has domiciliary account, US dollar and Pound Sterling accounts with us. The accounts were domiciled in Ilorin branch of GTB. He also has naira account. He said

“What we did in relation to this particular account was that we did some transfer for the defendant. It was in US dollars and Pound Sterling. The funds were from the customer’s account domiciled with us, to an offshore bank.” He added

“He gave instruction for the sum of $73,223.28 cent to be transferred to American Express Services Europe Limited through their Bank-American Express Bank New York to account number 730580, to swift code-AEIBUS33. The purpose of the payment was funding for amounts utilised on the Amex Card issued to the customer (Dollar Credit Card) No 374588216836009.”
“He said we should deduct the amount from his dollar account number 441/441953/2/1/0. The fund transfer form was personally signed by the defendant himself.”

“We received the telex from his account officer in Ilorin branch. After we got the instruction, we checked that the signature of the customer was okay, then we debited his account, including the principal and associated charges.


After we debited the account, we processed it by transferring it with our correspondence bank which is CitiBank New York which in turn transferred it to the beneficiary bank, in this case, the American Express Bank New York.

“We did several other transfers for the defendant. Documents of all transfers we made from 2009 to 2012 were all made available to the EFCC. But apart from Exhibit 8, there were other transfer documents we did not hand over to the EFCC. Some of them were fund transfer request forms by the customer and telex for the transfers.”

Investment / Gtbank: One Of The Most Useless Bank In Nigeria by naija911: 11:56am On Dec 24, 2016
Yeye GtBank

So, I went to a GTBank branch to reactivate my dormant account. I was asked to provide utility bill which I provided and a valid means of identification. I Had to stay in their useless queue inside the bank for like 2hours before I was reluctantly answered.
I was asked to pay any amount so as to reactivate the account. Since I was planning to get ATM card, I paid N1500 naira so as to take care of that. I was asked to come the next day to start processing the ATM card.
The next day I came, I was then told my account is not OK, that the name of the BVN attached to my account is not properly arrange, that I have to go back to reenrol for BVN or go do court affidavit in order to make my account OK and subsequently be able to process ATM card. I asked if I can withdraw the N1500 I paid earlier but to my surprise, I was told I cannot withdraw it, that my account is not OK.
This same BVN record is the same record that I have attached to my other banks from FirstBank, ZenithBank, Diamond Bank without any complain. Now, arrogant GTBank is asking me to go and re-enrol for BVN in order to allow my account to be active.

– How come my BVN was not an issue before I paid N1500 naira into the bank account?

– How come customers have to go through a lot of stress anytime they come to any branch of your nonsense bank?

– How come you have very strict, unnecessary, counter productive rules as compared to other banks(FirstBank, ZenithBank etc) that are far better than your bank?

– How come you treat your customers arrogantly and act as if they are the one that need your help?

– How much are the bank staff even paid that they have to go through this crazy working conditions?

When I calculate the amount of stress I have already undergone, and yet no clear solution in sight, I have decided to dash my N1500 I already paid into the account to GTBank, but I don’t need your useless, arrogant, stupid bank again. You can continue to treat your customers any how but I will not be among those customers. I will stick to my other banks that treats me like a king, and a customer. I need them, and they need me. Its a win-win situation.

Properties / Illegal Gtbank Charges : Courts Award Innoson N10billion by naija911: 11:50am On Oct 28, 2016
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

We are constrained to respond to fictitious news published by some news print medium on Monday October 24th 2016 on The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, filing four counts of alleged N2.4bn shipping fraud against Innoson Nigeria Limited before a Federal High Court in Lagos.

The said report which was published with the ultimate aim of maligning the reputation of Dr Innocent Chukwuma OFR on the same period he was playing host to his Strategic Chinese business partners wouldn’t have merited our response. But we are constrained to respond to this fallacious news and state the true position of things in order to keep the record straight.

Guaranty Trust Bank PLC (GTB) imposed excess and unlawful charges running into Billions of Naira on Innoson Nig Ltd’s current account with it. Also, GTB fraudulently appropriated these Billions of Naira from Innoson’s account. As a result, Innoson commenced suit No: FHC/AWK/CS/139/2012 against GTB and therein got judgment in excess of N4.7Billion against GTB. GTB appealed against the judgment to the Court of Appeal, vide, Appeal No: CA/E/288/2013. There, the Court of Appeal ordered GTB to pay over N6Billion being the judgment with the accrued interest.

Separately, in another case, suit No: FHC/L/CS/603/2006, the Federal High Court ordered GTB to pay over N2.4Billion to Innoson.

GTB appealed against this judgment/order in Appeal No: CA/I/258/2011. However, Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and ordered GTB to pay the N2.4Billion to Innoson.
Finding no justifiable way of getting Innoson to abandon the aforesaid judgments, which as at today is over N10Billion given the post judgment interest, or to let it pay a lesser sum to Innoson, GTB instigated the Police to initiate a trumped up charge – Charge No: FHC/L/565c/2015 against Innoson Nig Ltd. This charge was filed on 21st December 2015. However, when the Inspector General of Police discovered that the charge is a trumped – a ruse – it withdrew the charge through its Notice of Withdrawal dated 17th February 2016 and adequately filed in the court.

Subsequently, the Inspector General of Police urged the Court to strike out the charge but for some strange reasons the court adjourned the matter rather than strike it out. After this but before the next adjourned date, Mr. Diri – the former Director of Public Prosecution, Federal Republic of Nigeria – wrote a letter claiming that the Attorney General of the Federation had taken over the case.

The said letter which was back dated was never initialled by the Registrar or any officer of the Court nor filed at the Court’s Registry as required by law and practice was rather smuggled into the case file. This letter coupled with other activities of Mr. Diri led to his being relieved of his post as the Director of Public Prosecution.

As it is now, the Inspector General of Police, whether former or present has not filed any new charge against Innoson Nigeria Ltd and its managing director and Mr. J. I. Ajakaye who apparently is acting without any authority is not a Police Officer.

The matter came up on Monday, 24th October 2016 for the presiding judge to recuse himself from presiding over the charge and for same to be struck out having been withdrawn. Mr. Ajakaye never and did not serve any charge on the counsel representing the defendants in the matter. A charge is an originating process and can only be served on a defendant and not his lawyer. Again, Innoson’s lawyers do not have its instructions to accept any originating process including a charge on its behalf

Car Talk / Gtbank Fingered In Campaign To Destroy Local Vehicle Company, Innoson Group by naija911: 6:26am On Oct 28, 2016
There are indications that management of GTBank has unleashed its media contacts in a well-funded negative campaign to destroy local vehicle manufacturing company, Innoson Group.

The bank is said to have re-engineered its negative campaigns against Innoson Group as soon as it learnt that the conglomerate has secured $1b Chinese loan facility to fund its expansion and investments in digital television.

Vice president Yemi Osinbajo had on Monday in Abuja, received Chinese investors who had come to Nigeria at the behest of Chief executive Officer of Innoson group, Innocent Chukwuma, stirring in the process, the angst of GTBank management.

To this extent, the bank is accused of sponsoring fictitious publications in its avowed decision to seek the destruction of Innoson Group.

Management of Innoson Group, in a statement signed by its image maker, Cornel Osigwe, explained why GTBank seeks its downfall.

The statement reads:
